This review discusses the link between insulin resistance and skin conditions such as acanthosis nigricans and psoriasis, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that women with PCOS reported higher overall psychological distress, but there was no significant link between their perceived hirsutism and this distress.

This study analyzed changes in hair diameter and density with age in Caucasian women, highlighting variations in perception of hair amount over time.

This study found distinct gene expression profiles in alopecia areata-affected skin, suggesting T-cell mediated immune responses and unique gene profiles between different stages of the disease.

This study observed that skin pigmentation significantly attenuates bioluminescent signals in C57Bl/6 mice, complicating quantitative optical imaging and requiring consideration in experimental design.

In this study, researchers found that while the SNP rs6152 is strongly associated with androgenetic alopecia, the GGN triplet repeat is not, suggesting the causative variant is likely a non-coding one.

This study found that daily use of 1% pyrithione zinc shampoo modestly improved hair growth over 26 weeks, although these effects were less than those of 5% minoxidil.

This review found that women with idiopathic hirsutism may have increased 5α-reductase activity, as indicated by elevated levels of a dihydrotestosterone-reduced metabolite, but more research is needed to confirm its clinical relevance as a biomarker.

This study concluded that an endogenous circannual rhythm of prolactin secretion in mouflon influences their seasonal hair growth and moulting cycle, which varies under different photoperiodic and melatonin treatments.

This study found no evidence of androgen deficiency or decreased peripheral androgen action in men with persistent sexual symptoms after finasteride use, but identified links to depressed mood and abnormal brain function.

This study found that Sri Lankan women with polycystic ovary syndrome experienced higher psychological distress and poorer health-related quality of life, primarily linked to hirsutism rather than obesity.

This study found that, among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was significantly associated with an increased risk of depression, even after accounting for factors like BMI.

This study found that smoking, obesity, and family history are significant risk factors for premature hair graying in young men.

Alopecia areata seriously lowers quality of life, especially affecting self-image, mental health, and social life.

This study suggests that women with polycystic ovary syndrome may have a distinct metabolomic profile, differing in levels of amino acids, organic acids, and lipids compared to controls.

This study found that the prevalence of personality disorders in individuals with androgenetic alopecia was significantly higher than in the general population, irrespective of gender.

This study reports that among men, skin surface hydration and pH change with age, but transepidermal water loss and sebum production show less variation.

This study found that people with androgenic alopecia, particularly women, are more prone to anxiety and depression, often adopting avoidant coping strategies, which are linked to emotional and psychological impacts rather than clinical severity.

This study found that in dermatological patients, poorer quality of life was associated with being younger, single, having a low income, one skin disease, and longer duration of the condition.

In this study, more than 25% of children experienced axial length shortening greater than 0.05 mm/year following repeated low-level red-light therapy.

This study reported that Turkish males with male pattern androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower zinc and copper levels in their hair compared to healthy controls, suggesting these imbalances may play a role in the condition's etiology.

This article updates Japanese guidelines for diagnosing and treating male and female-pattern hair loss, recommending specific drugs and therapies while advising against certain treatments for female-pattern hair loss.

This study found that transdermal testosterone significantly increased the frequency of satisfactory sexual events in women experiencing SSRI/SNRI-related loss of libido, but did not improve overall sexual self-rating scores.

This review found evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of topical minoxidil for treating female pattern hair loss, though many included studies were at high risk of bias.

This review highlights the need for methodologies to understand and quantify drug penetration into hair follicles as significant drug pathways, noting this area lacks comprehensive articles and reports no new results.

This study found that nearly half of men using finasteride reported clinically significant depression, highlighting the need for psychiatric screening and careful risk assessment by prescribing clinicians.

This study developed a model using cardiovascular radiomics to estimate biological heart age, finding obesity and other health factors strongly correlated with accelerated heart aging.
